This Popular QC Children’s Attraction is Opening for the Summer

The temps are finally warming up, and outdoor fun is on everyone's minds. If your kids are fans of splash pads, you're in luck. The Children's Garden water feature at the Quad City Botanical Center is opening for the summer this Saturday, May 5.

If you've never checked out the water feature, it's basically a mini version of the Mississippi that kids can run, jump, splash, and play in. There's also a large sandbox for when they want to get their hands dirty. Most other Quad City water parks and splash pads don't open for a few weeks, but since this weekend's weather is looking sunny and warm, it's the perfect time to take the family.

Admission to the Botanical Center is $6 for adults, $4 for kids ages 6-15, $2 for kids 2-5, and kids under 2 are free.
